The social-media personality defeated former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley via split decision in a boxing match on Sunday, improving his professional fight record to 4-0.
Paul's retirement comes as a surprise after the 24-year-old said he would accept a rematch with Woodley if the latter got a tattoo that read "I love Jake Paul."
